Facebook Messenger Partners with Uber

There's been talk of a partnership between these two for a while, and that Messenger would likely be the rendezvous point. The social media giant have added a thread on the Messenger app which will enable people to hail a taxi directly from it. It's not the first time a commercial requirement has been fulfilled by Messenger, as a number of retail services can be accessed on it, but this partnership brings things to a whole different level.

This won't be exclusive to them though, likely as anything. Facebook are currently testing the feature in certain cities in the US, but as it takes off, more taxi apps will purportedly be integrated, as not all countries, let alone cities, have widespread access to Uber. Equally, Uber are planning to partner with other messaging services, such as Hipchat, but Facebook remains the most sophisticated, for the time being. Rumor has it that Lyft might be the next ones to integrate their service with Facebook.
